Barry Tramel suggests that college juniors ought to have more bargaining strength with regard to eligibility and the NFL draft. He makes some good points – particularly with regard to emasculating agents with these kids – which means it has the proverbial snowball’s chance of happening.

Doug Williams may be a bitter man, but that doesn’t mean he’s not observant. And right.

This is a pretty run-of-the-mill D-1 playoff proposal. I’m just linking to it because it’s (1) pitched by a man of the cloth and (2) involves the casting of lots. How biblical.

Speaking of the latter, be still my heart: Tuberville and Fulmer, fresh off of being canned, will offer their best second guessing over every working coach’s recruiting class. Fulmer’s appearance should be the most entertaining, only because CBS is teaming him up with Tom Lemming. It’ll be interesting to see how Fulmer does with Lemming’s head in his lap.

Is there a coach who’s gotten more mileage out of irritating his peers (using the term loosely) in a short period of time than Lane Kiffin? I’ve got to admit it’s a great sales job – nobody’s talking about that 5-15 record as a head coach, that’s for sure.
